This is why I don't mourn Western car companies getting slaughtered by Chinese EVs. They can't really provide value by nickel and diming customers with subscriptions for components already installed on their privacy-invading overpriced cars.

You do realize all car companies do scummy things? BYD along with others uses parts serialization so you can't install any parts unless BYD installs it for you an updates the software to take the new serial number.

I didn't realize they were like Apple. Is there a source you have I could check out?
